PAKISTAN: The Country the World Forgot to Visit | 4K Travel Documentary
A poet from Sialkot wrote verses in Urdu and Persian that proposed
a country. Nine years after his death, that country came into
existence. Today it has one hundred and sixty-five nuclear warheads,
the fastest-growing arsenal on Earth — and a tradition of Sufi
poetry so deep that the word for God and the word for the beloved
are, in verse, the same.
Pakistan sits on the ruins of the Indus Valley Civilization — one
of humanity's three oldest urban cultures, five thousand years of
continuous settlement. Mohenjo-daro's streets were laid on a grid
with indoor plumbing before Egypt built its pyramids. And yet the
world sees only the bomb.
In this documentary, discover how Allama Iqbal's philosophy of
selfhood inspired a nation, how Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's "eat grass"
vow launched a secret nuclear program, and why Pakistan's markhor,
snow leopard, and blind Indus River dolphin are fighting to survive
in a land caught between poetry and power.
